Excerpt from The History of Morley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire: Including a Particular Account of Its Old Chapel
Dunstan having, therefore, at least, six himdred acres of land, in Morley, and Ilbert, about other six hundred, in waste; and there being a wood of about a mile in length and breadth, or 640 acres of forest, we are enabled to compare the present, with what was, near 800 years ago, considered the extent of the Township; and taking the above, not as admeasurement, but a very rude estimate as to wood and waste, we find it, by some means, considerably enlarged; for, we have now about acres within the Township, including our new Inclosures and waste.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the history of the Chapel at Morley, a village in Yorkshire, England, and its place in the story of English society and religion. The author takes the reader on a journey through time, from the Saxon era to the Commonwealth, detailing how the Chapel was built, rebuilt, and repurposed. The author sheds light on the lives of the people who frequented the Chapel, drawing upon historical records and personal anecdotes to reveal the social and religious dynamics of the village. Beyond the physical history of the Chapel, the author delves into the intellectual and spiritual landscape of England during a time of significant upheaval. Through their research, the author explores the complex relationship between the Church and State, and examines the rise of Puritanism and its impact on religious practices and social life. This book gives us a nuanced look at the events of the English Reformation and the subsequent shift in religious and social attitudes. The book ultimately argues that understanding the history of places like Morley is crucial to understanding the larger story of England, its people, and the development of its religious and social identity.
